ROHNERT PARK, Calif. -- The investigation into the drinking death of a teenage boy led police in Orinda to arrest a man suspected of selling fake ID's around the state Thursday, according to authorities.

Orinda police said the arrest of 22-years-old Robert Martin Scott of Rohnert Park may be just the beginning and that more arrests may be coming. Officers said Scott may be part of ring that made and sold fake ID's to minors in various cities in northern and southern California.

Police said they found 85 fake California driver's licenses during their search in Rohnert Park Thursday morning.

Investigators said Scott came to their attention during their investigation into the recent death of 16-year-old Joseph Loudon, a sophomore at Orinda's Miramonte High School.

"It was part of our death investigation we're conducting," said Orinda Police Sgt. Andre Charles. "His name was one of the names we came up with during our investigation as someone who may be supplying identifications to the minors here in the city and in the Lamorinda area."

Police said the quality of the fake ID's is quite good and hard to differentiate from real driver's licenses. Some were so realistic that even police had trouble detecting them without special equipment. Scott allegedly sold the fake ID's for between $160 and $300.

"Whoever is doing it has some pretty decent equipment," Charles explained. "It requires a computer and program like Photoshop to make them look like good quality identifications."

On May 23rd, Loudon was found unconscious at a friend's house during a party. Police suspect that excessive drinking caused his death and that other teens provided him with the alcohol.

"We believe a fake ID was used to purchase that alcohol so we gave this case a very high priority given the tragedy we had here in the city," said Charles.

Austin Zimmerman, 19-year-old Miramonte graduate told KTVU it's easy to get fake ID's and several of his friends have them. He said he never bought one himself. "I didn't need one because my friends have one," said Zimmerman. He added they buy alcohol with the fake ID's.

Beverly McAdams, the executive director of Mothers Against Drunk Driving blamed three things for the prevalence of underage drinking. "Accessibility, accessibility and accessibility," said McAdams. "Too often parents think it's harmless and a rite of passage to adulthood."

Police said Robert Martin Scott faces felony forgery and identity theft charges for creating the fake ID's.
